Yanmen County, Taishou Mansion.

Looking at Qian Tao, the leader of the Jinyi Guard not far away, Ye Teng beckoned.

"My lord's command." Qian Tao bowed and said.

"Find Chen Ping, and say that I have something to order."

"No!"

After returning from Luoyang, the affairs of the court have finally come to an end, and it is time to deal with the player's affairs.

Although martial law is safe, it seriously affects the social and economic activities of Yanmen County; When martial law can be lifted in the future depends not only on the process of sorting out the officialdom, the family, and the army in Yanmen County, but also on the two major threats that Yanmen County will have to deal with in the short term - the revenge of the family and the destruction of the player's power.

If you can get a rough idea of the player's background in Yanmen County, it will help eliminate the threat from the player.

In the future, when martial law is lifted, all energy can be spent on guarding against the revenge of the family.

——————————

Before Chen Ping came, Ye Teng simply took stock of the detailed accounts of the money spent like water during this period of time.

Economic strength is the cornerstone of all other strengths.

Again, money is not everything, and no money is everything. The decline of many dynasties is due to the fact that the scholar class, using its economic privileges, has eroded the economic foundation of the country and caused the country's financial difficulties.

Except, of course, the Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Yongzheng's paving into the mu, the gentry as one errand, and the one grain, so that the Qing Dynasty maintained nearly a hundred more years in the ups and downs. It was not until the "Treaty of Xincho" and the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" signed an indemnity that all the people of China, from the emperor to the beggars, could not afford to pay back two or three times, that the ruling edifice of the Qing Dynasty collapsed at the end of the road.

Before he became the Taishou of Yanmen County, sometimes when he went to the grassland to rob, he was troublesome to collect grain, because there was too much grain left in the territory, and he couldn't put it down.

However, after taking over Yanmen County, Ye Teng obviously felt that he did not have enough understanding of the situation of tens of millions of people and millions of troops.

I always thought that I had enough money and food, and there were mountains of weapons and equipment, so much that I didn't know how to sell them. But this time, in the face of more than 90 ordinary troops with incomplete equipment, Ye Teng's long-term accumulation has been digested for a long time, after all, weapons and equipment are consumables, and with the scale of craftsmen in Tianma City, it is a bit reluctant to provide weapons and equipment for more than 100,000 soldiers, let alone meet the needs of the soldiers of the entire Yanmen County.

As for the production capacity of Yanmen County, Ye Teng has not yet sorted it out, whether it can meet the needs of more than one million soldiers for weapons and equipment, Ye Teng has no bottom in his heart.

Taking precautions, Tianma City cleared out more than 2 million sets of weapons and equipment above the ordinary level, and enriched them into the military camps of Yanmen County, with 150,000 sets allocated to the county seat and 450,000 sets allocated to the county seat, all of which were prepared according to the scale of 50% of the full overflow.

After all, there are still heavy tasks to suppress bandits in the county in the future, and if you just dispose of the weapons and equipment you have hoarded at a low price, and after a few months, you buy them at a high price, it will be the first joke in the world.

Not only that, but the mountains of grain and tens of millions of gold in the past do not seem to be enough now.

The plunder, and the money from the sale of horses, cattle, mules, and horses, was indeed astronomical.

Although he paid 6 million gold on time, there is still more than 30 million gold left.

However, in the recruitment process of Yanmen County this time, it cost nearly 3 million gold for repatriation and settling-in expenses alone, and at least 1.2 million gold will be spent on monthly money, food, clothing, weapons and equipment every month in the future. So Ye Teng left them with 3.6 million gold that could barely cope with three months of support

Not only that, looking at the hollowed out finances, Ye Teng had no choice but to give 500,000 gold to each of the 9 counties where there was no war, and 2 million gold to each of the county Zhiyin Pavilion and Qiangyin and Pingcheng.

For this reason, Ye Teng paid a total of 17.1 million gold, and only 13 million gold was left on his body, and many Tianma City soldiers who had reached the peak of their strength at this level had not yet prepared the required Transformation Pill.

The finances, which I thought were abundant, began to look a little cramped.

Before the financial problems were fully sorted out, a book came in to report that there were a few strangers who asked to see him, and this was the Nth time.

Ye Teng was not in Taishou Mansion before, so they didn't see him, so they have been asking for a meeting tirelessly, once or twice a day in the past few days.

Ye Teng thought about it briefly, and knew that it should be the representative of the major player forces in Yanmen County.

Let's see it, anyway, if you can hide from the first year of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth.

You must know that the tentacles of those big forces are almost all over every county and county, even villages and towns, and since he has taken over the post of the Taishou of Yanmen County, it is inevitable to deal with them.

After all, only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can one not be defeated.

"Let them go to the hall and wait, I'll be right there." Pinched his eyebrows, a little annoyed.

When Ye Teng came to the hall, more than a dozen representatives of the player forces were waiting for tea in the living room, and when they saw Ye Teng coming in, they all stood up to greet him, maintaining basic politeness.

"Participate in the Ye City Lord!"

"Hello City Lord Ye!"

"City Lord Ye."

Although there are different ways to greet people, no one wants to call Ye Taishou. Because according to the current development progress, each player force owns more than one small city, and it feels more equal to call the city lord. If you call it too shou, it will inevitably appear inferior.

"You're welcome, just sit down. First of all, I would like to express my attitude, that is, welcome everyone! Your arrival makes Ye feel very honored! Ye Teng smiled and invited everyone to take a seat, drink tea, and say kind words. I don't like to deal with players very much, it doesn't mean that Ye Teng doesn't have the basic qualities to deal with players.

"Lord Ye is polite, it is our honor that City Lord Ye can take the time to meet in his busy schedule." A fat man with baby fat on his face, said politely with a smile on his face, and his eyes were almost unable to see the gap.

Lord Ye Cheng was polite...... "Everyone is being polite."

"Since you're here, you're welcome. In the future, we will get along for a long time, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation.

I think I'll get straight to the point, you come today, if you have any questions, as long as you can answer them, I will try to know everything;

If there is anything I need help with, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I will not refuse. Ye Teng was still polite.

"City Lord Ye, I am Zhao Xuan, the representative of the Shenzhou League, because I am relatively strong, everyone calls me fat, if City Lord Ye doesn't mind, just call me fat." It was the squinting fat man who answered first.

"The Shenzhou League has long been like thunder, and I met the Dragon City Lord a few days ago, and we talked very happily, Mr. Zhao has nothing to say." Ye Teng thought about it, the Shenzhou Alliance didn't seem to have any malice on the surface, and he was not stingy to make friends.

"You're welcome the fat man. The two questions I would like to ask, which I think are of concern to all of you here this time, are, how long will martial law last? Second, what is the attitude of City Lord Ye towards the future activities of us players or player forces in Yanmen County? The fat man replied simply.

Ye Teng pondered for a moment, since the representatives of so many forces have come, these two questions cannot be avoided, so he simply took this opportunity to make it clear, so as to save himself from causing trouble due to misjudgment in the future.
